Mack is listening to Welcome to Nightvale while doing schoolwork

i love you ok"
Please stop saying that"
its true sorry

i would literally do anything to throw a slipper at naji's head

I want nothing more than to turn back time
To when talking to you didn’t feel
Like a weight descending on my chest
When I saw your name and felt joy in place of dread
We both know I can’t say w..."
ill writeyou a pooem too <3

for a very pretty boy
and he's trans too so I wouldn't have to deal with any of that bull I had to deal with with tyler
do you still talk to tyler, naji?


hoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
how have you been?

hoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
how have you been?"
hm
well it turns out tyler likes someone who is two years older than him and engaged to someone else. imkind of detached from the situation at this point, a lot of my friends say he's an asshole, and if he doesn't care about me at all anymore, I'll be better at not giving a shit. I still miss him a little bit but I'm doing better in the aspect.
besides that, my muscles are all really sore from exercise, and I'm scared for the results of the homecoming votes. i have 6 am practice tomorrow and then a race on Saturday, which is scary and exciting. my cat loves me again and has started running away when i go to text tyler which i think is a sign from the universe to let him go. I ate pasta. I met five cats on my walk to school today.
how are you?

hoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
how have you been?"
hm
well it turns ..."
<3 you seem okay, or at least okay enough, and I’m so glad
I’m uhhh.. I’m okay

ARI AND DANTE ARI AND DANTE ARI AND DANTE
the moon and the clouds are really pretty
tms

yes voluntarily
fuck summers and fuck falling in love and fuck hope and fuck thinking you're not unlovable and fuck it all
I miss being numb and apathetic


You're made of all those little things
That squiggle around inside your brain
Bounce through your skull
And off the walls
Made of things that are not skin and bone
Made of things that only you know
Made of little squiggles only you understand
Until you find other people
Whose squiggles look like your own
And bounce off of each other's squiggles
And when you're young
Those squiggles form wierd little dreams
That you miss when you're old but
You're meant for more than you
Understand when you're young and
Your squiggles can change
And so can you
II.
You've made this church
into a gold slathered idol
This building owns you and you
are a slave to ideation
you've never found in the testaments
You scream of tradition but
that's just one of your pillars
What about reason
What about prayer
What about scripture
Even the religion to that you
preach on the corners
doesn't agree with the
paths that you take
You've got the blood sacrifice
dripping from your lips
and the communion wine
is stale on your breath
Your baptismal fount is drowning
you with dirty water
that stopped being holy
a long time ago
III.
The punch must be the
same punch they've been
making for fifty years and
it tastes like blood and memories
the perspective of this building
is in a perspective
that isn't the same I can see it from now everything is different
everything is the same
My cousin is made of constellations and
I miss climbing the tree by the field and
the smell of the altars
and my grandpa's voice praying and
no one ever looks for the prodigal son
what if I don't return
IV.
I'm trying to warn you
Stay away from me
I'm trying to show you
I am not good
I am not holy
I am not pure
I am an infestation
I am swallowing the sun
I am eating it whole
I am trying to scare you away
I am hoping you will realize
I am not who I try to be
I am not who I let you think I am
I am forgetting my morals
I am losing friends quick
I am an infestation and you need to
Stay away from me
V.
The trick is you have to learn
how to live without regrets
The trick is you have to learn
how to forgive yourself
The trick is you have to learn
how to let go of your anger
I think I've figured out that
the trick to being happy is just
to be happy in the easiest ways -
Appreciate car rides full of laughter,
the shape of the clouds and
the light of the moon and the sun.
I think I've figured out that
the trick to being happy is just
if you need to change, change -
Part your hair the opposite direction or
start sleeping without the fan on and
walk somewhere instead of driving.
If you can't stay like this forever -
don't.
Things can always get better.
The trick is you have to learn
how to let go without hiding from it.
The trick is you have to learn
how to face your problems head-on.
The trick is you have to learn
how to be okay.

but the fact that that’s immediately where my brain went, help
But I didn’t even mean it that way
She said she’s a parasite
What do parasite do? They ..."
